And keep Matt McMahon? Is MBB that unimportant at LSU now?

It’s called putting all your eggs in the FB basket.

There’s none left for MBB.

Coaches convention is at the Final 4. Verge will have either made the move by then, or will at least be gathering some info in Indy.

I'm pumped about Kiffin, but it's sad to see how pathetic basketball is now.

Football is far and away more Important than pretty much anything at LSU…as it should be. Nothing else comes close to meaning as much to the school and the state.

Isn’t that what Scotty did when he fired WW? Was trying to save football by sacrificing basketball?

Football pays for almost every other sport LSU has. MBB does not.

Because we spent all of our money on the former.

What is more realistic: a football national championship or a basketball national championship? Football.

What brings in more money: football or basketball? Football

What has more fan support/enthusiasm: football or basketball? Football

That is why the big name coaches in football come to LSU or want to come. Basketball right now and last few years is at least 4th in most categories behind football, baseball, women's basketball, and gymnastics

Query if Wade was as guilty as you seem to think, why’d he only get a 10 game suspension?

It's been mostly unimportant for mostly forever. Yes, Pistol Pete and Shaq eras were fun, but, especially since Skip, it has been:

1. Football


2. Baseball











3. Basketball

Read the last edition of Tiger Rag. There’s about 30 pages of discussion about finances. Verge pretty much said we can’t afford it.

Basketball succeeded baseball for most years before Skip showed up. But they have always been 2a/2b.

If you go by the salary of the head coaches it's

1. Football









2 Women's basketball

3. Baseball

4. Men's basketball
